Description
If you know the name Andy Powers, you already understand how deep the roots run. As Taylor's Master Guitar Designer turned visionary founder of Powers Electric, Andy didn't just build another electric guitar; he reshaped the concept entirely. These A-Types from Powers Electric are each a striking creation with tone, feel, and vibe that stands miles apart from anything else on the wall. Whether you're a tone chaser, a player searching for something fresh, or someone looking for a new muse, this is a guitar that'll pull you in and not let go.
Born from San Diego's swirl of surf culture, hot rod obsession, skate heritage, and musical rebellion, the A-Type is a lightweight, trussed hollowbody that feels like air in your hands yet rings with lyrical sustain. Its PF42 pickups, Andy's own creation, offer a slightly firmer, punchier voice than the warmer FF42s; delivering articulate top-end response and a bright, clear presence that's tailor-made for cutting through a mix. Paired with the proprietary CamTail tremolo system, you get expressive pitch modulation that keeps your strings in sync and your tuning locked. The sound is crisp, bold, and wide open; a perfect platform for players who value clarity and attack without sacrificing depth.
This A-Type's Pearl White finish brings an air of elevated elegance; a rich, metallic off-white tone that shifts gently with the light, offering dimension and sophistication with a high-gloss edge. Its fully polished top, back, and sides give it a sleek, modern sheen, while the Firestripe pickguard adds just the right touch of vintage character. The swirl resin knobs and tips in white, red, orange, and yellow inject a burst of vibrant personality against the smooth pearlescent backdrop. With white PF42 pickups seated in ebony rings, the contrast is clean and bold-balancing refinement with a spark of individuality. Finished with a delrin saddle and CamTail trem, this A-Type is built to perform just as beautifully as it looks.
At Cream City Music, we see dozens of guitars every day, but instruments like this? They're rare. The Powers Electric A-Type isn't just a fresh voice; it's a whole new language. This custom, made-to-order guitar captures everything Andy Powers set out to create: a guitar that reimagines tradition, liberates creativity, and redefines the Rule of Cool. The Powers Electric A-Type is a must-see, must-play kind of instrument, and we've got them here, at Cream City Music.
